Social Support and Physical Activity in Latino Adolescents with Obesity and Prediabetes
Description
To determine whether a 3-month lifestyle intervention could increase social support (SS) and physical activity (PA) in Latino adolescents with obesity. Participants in the intervention will increase (SS) from family and friends and PA. Youth attended weekly nutritional and exercise sessions at the YMCA. Familial and Friend SS for PA is not significant; moderate to vigorous PA is significant. Culturally-grounded & community-based intervention leads to changes in SS for PA and PA in Latino adolescents.
